Shrimp Mac N Cheese

By Kristina LaRue, RDN 3 Comments

 Your favorite food as a kid just grew up... peas, shallots, wild red shrimp, gruyere and cheddar cheese. Get a bowl of this Shrimp Mac n Cheese ASAP! Shrimp Mac N Cheese  Happy hump day friends. It's mid July... but I really can't believe the summer is almost over. So much so that I've started to see some pumpkin recipes floating around the web. I know, I know, for you summer purists, how dare I say the word pumpkin in July. Hey, I'm just calling it like it is, I haven't started making anything pumpkin yet, but the glorious fall is just around the corner. I've already started talking about how wonderful it will be :) But first we are headed to the beach this weekend for a big family friendly weekend with all the LaRues. I'm looking forward to a little getaway and ... View Post

Avocado Toast with Kale Sprouts

By Kristina LaRue, RDN 3 Comments

Start out your day with Avocado Toast with Kale Sprouts. This meal makes you feel good from the inside out! Serve with a big bowl of bitter greens to get even more veg into your diet.  One of my favorite cafes on Park Ave knows how to do avocado toast. They serve a thick layer of smashed avocado on top of a local sprouted grain bread and top the whole thing with lots of fresh sprouts. It's so delicious and summery, and makes you feel really good eating it too. I'm not new to avocado toast, but this sprouts idea is something that has made me get more adventurous with this breakfast (or anytime) staple. I found kale sprouts at the store the other day, and decided to make this Avocado Toast with Kale Sprouts at home. I'm so glad I did. It's so easy.  ... View Post

Watermelon Breakfast Pizza

This Watermelon Breakfast Pizza is so it guys! Slice of watermelon, topped with Greek yogurt, seeds, and a drizzle of honey. Make it your own by adding your favorite toppings. The possibilities are endless.  It's so hot in herrr. Like stifling hot. The air is teribly humid in here in Orlando this past week that it's hard to breathe outside. We love spending time outside too so it's a bummer! When it's hot like that outside, I'm all about finding ways to cool off (read: beach trips and swimming pools are a must!!) and eating foods that are cool too. Here lately, I've really been into yogurt bowls. Move over oatmeal, we need a bowl of yogurt with watermelon for breakfast to cool us down! I do banana split yogurt bowls nearly every day. ...

Watermelon Cucumber Salad

By Kristina LaRue, RDN 8 Comments

This Watermelon Cucumber Salad is all about fresh summer produce and just 5 ingredients. Watermelon, cucumber, basil and coconut water will hydrate and make you feel refreshed from the inside out. Thanks to ZICO Coconut Water for sponsoring this post. Are you drooling yet? Something about freshly cut watermelon infused with cucumber, basil and coconut water makes my mouth water like CRAAAAAZZZY… I just can’t sleep… I’m so excited I’m in too deep. Oh you know you know all the lyrics to that old Britney song. Any closet Britney Spears fans in the house? I was more of boy band N’Sync/Hanson fan back in the day, but I still can sing all the 90s pop songs with the best of them. Focus. I know y'all are here for the Watermelon Cucumber Salad.   Watermelon has been so good lately, like ... View Post

Vegetarian Baby Burrito Bowls

By Kristina LaRue, RDN 10 Comments

These Vegetarian Baby Burrito Bowls are a meal the whole family can enjoy and a great way for baby to develop their pincer grasp! Beans, avocado, and brown rice are wholesome foods for baby and you! If your baby isn't ready for finger foods, simply puree this meal to the desired texture and consistency. Here's the DL on my current mom problem. My baby is nearly 9 months old and only wants to slurp foods-- read: milk from the mama source, smoothies, and squeezes. He refuses the spoon and easily gags on soft nibbles of finger foods that "should" be developmentally appropriate. Yes, we even gag and spit up on quickly dissolvable puffed cereals that are broken in half. This would happen to the RD mom that wants her child to eat a wide variety of nutritious foods with different textures, ... View Post
